Iran's Involvement In Israel-Hamas Conflict Is Key For The Future Of US Inflation
Portfolio Pulse from Natan Ponieman
The Israel-Hamas conflict could impact global oil prices, depending on Iran's involvement. Iran, a backer of Hamas, controls the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20-30% of global oil inventory passes. Increased sanctions on Iran could raise oil prices, affecting US inflation. Rising oil prices could benefit US-based oil extraction companies like Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Shell, and ETFs like the United States Oil Fund LP, the iShares U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF, and the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil. However, a spike in inflation could negatively impact tech companies like Apple, Amazon, and Meta, and consumer discretionary companies like Tesla, General Motors, Ford, and Volkswagen.
